the new settler if he be worthy Of their eoteesn
They are sociable and kind. and when ( person

feels at once like making it his home. for GER

Tallahassee to-day has a great many wealthy
people, not exactly milionaires but those in easy
circumstances. They take life easy and enioy
what they have. The merchants all do we'll,
and during our two days visit saw sign Of
tightness in the money market. The stores are
well stocked and do good business most of the
trade coming in from surrounding plantations.
The streets of the city are lined with beaut-
ul oak trees, affording delightful shade to the
foot passenger and giving look or coziness TO
tne homes OF the people that reside therein.
yet not detracting from the beauty oa- the city,
sui there are any number Of modern buildings
that have gone up recently and others hearing
completion. The grounds are beautifully laid

summer resort for TaIlahasseeass, and we were
informed that most of the young people had lust
gone down for few weeks, leaving the CITY al
most deserted of its beauty. While we were
aware mat there was much beauty at this resort
yet were we fully convinced that quite enough
remained to make it interesting and pleasant ior

DONG a good summer business. The Leon open
only IN the winter, is fine house. and is well
niled during the winter season. But the St.
James answers all purposes so far. and probable
satisfies the public.
Too much cannot be said of this country-to
be appreciated it has got to be seen. Those that
nave never been there, and who have always
lived in the pine lands OF Florida, or went direct
there from the North, cannot possibly conceive
what an elegant county surrounds Tallahassee
when The railroads that are now being talked of
are built, which will surely be, the tide of mm-
grafton will settle on the hills of this section,
lands will go up, and when the boom comes ii
will not be like the discharge of cannon, but
one continuous boom, that will make the old
hills shake with delight. Lands are cheap now,
and fortune awaits the man who will invest
his money there.
We expect to see the day, if we live, when the
land OF Leon will produce ten times more than
II did before the war. There is no question
about it-time will tell.
